Fantastic Tour of London! - Our guide - Alan - was so much fun. Funny and knowledgeable. He made it a great experience. Our bus driver Sean was great too. They make a good team.
We loved the fact that we got to get off the bus at Buckingham Palace to take pictures. A previous tour only drove by very fast. The boat ride on the Thames was cool, and driving across Tower Bridge was even cooler.
The tour ended on a high note with tea at Harrods. Alan didn't just dump us off there. He took us up to the tea room and made sure we were all checked in and knew how to get back to our hotel. It all made for a memorable day in London!

Tea & a great tour - Alan our guide was fantastic, personable, informative and accommodating. It was all very interesting, the boat ride was nice, but it was a 30 min wait for the boat on the (hottest day of the year (33c). Though Alan had us in the shade and it's delay was beyond his control. Tea was lovely at Harrods, a wonderful end to a fantastic tour.

Not a tour fan - until now! - Thanks to John for an engaging and informative tour! The combination of viewing from the bus, the boat ride and short free time walks at destination spots was excellent. What a wonderful way to take in such a massive city, later returning to places you may want to spend more time. The vintage bus was a big plus, people were taking pictures of the bus even as we took pictures of the sights.

Terrific experience - Allen was an amazing tour guide! So funny and knowledgeable. He really looked out for everyone so no one would be lost at each stop. He narrated the tour beautifully. We had a truly wonderful experience and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants the highlights of London. The boat ride was on a large and very lovely ferry. Very smooth ride and relaxing. Our tour ended with high tea at Harrod’s, which was beautiful.

Thank you Premium Tours- London - From start to finish this tour was brilliant. The tour took place on a red open top bus and the tour guide John was amazing. His knowledge of the greater London area was not only second to none but his manner was very eloquent and charming. It was fantastic to see London up close and personal and I loved having the opportunity to see Buckingham Palace and to hear all of its history from John.
We then boarded a boat on the Thames river where we saw all the fab bridges of London up close. Finishing off the tour with afternoon tea in Harrods. Simply delightful.
Thank you John and Premium tours for a memorable tour. I would fully recommend this to anyone.

A tour with a taste of London - The cream tea was the best part. Lovely experience. Tour guide was good, had already toured in days previous so much was repetitive but still informative. Weather was not the best but was able to stay dry.

Knowledgeable - Loved the tour guide and tour. Due to heavy traffic we had to cut some parts out of the bus tour. No time to use the facilities. Most everyone was in need of the loo.

Good, but needs editing. - Our guide/host was very knowledgable about all things London on the tour. Unfortunately when we were traveling through the city on our vintage bus he tried to relate information about every building we passed. It was not possible. He would be explaining a few quick facts about one building and we would already be at another building. He would hurriedly start talking about the next building. It was very disjointed and hard to follow. When we were on the ground and had time to observe it was great. There was also a handoff issue. We were transferring from the river portion of the cruise to the final bus portion, but our bus was on the other side of the river. It was a frustrating delay. Some people just left the tour and headed on to other locations. Some editing might help this tour. Every building, new and old, has history in London. Be selective. The tea room at Harold’s was very nice but by that time I was ready to end my day. It took some of the enjoyment out of it.
